Both sets sounded awesome but pretty different. The EMGs definitely didn’t sound sterile like a lot of people claim. I’m sure you could sculpt your sound around either set and be happy with the tone.
@@TheBrettSiler Completely agree. The EMGs definitely have a more prominent high end which can be a little harsh but very easily dialled out with a twist of a knob
I love EMGs but I gotta say in this play style the neck of the of the PRS pickups sounded best. Warm and fat. The Emg wasn’t bad. I have them in almost all Of My guitars but I play heavy stuff consistently and if I was going to be playing this kind of stuff I’d go for the passive pickups.
@@xFallnessx The EQ curve on the EMGs definitely lends itself to very high gain. There’s an abundance of high end which helps them cut through all that gain but ends up sounding harsh on mid to low gain tones. That was my experience anyway, YMMV of course.
